1972 Honda CB500K · Electrical Buying guide
The 1972-specific wiring choice references the 1972–73 main loom. Ignition coil sets and charging units are separate purchases. Compare the bike’s existing equipment with the listing before combining original-style parts and modified electrical components.

The main-harness listing provides the loom rather than a complete electrical system. If parts are missing from a restoration, check the separate switches, lamps, charging equipment and branch harnesses before ordering. A new main loom cannot supply a missing component at the other end of a connector.
The replacement coil set is described for a stock-style ignition arrangement, and the combined regulator has its own mounting dimensions. A different ignition or battery can add compatibility requirements. Read the relevant equipment instructions and identify the fitted components before deciding that two separately listed parts belong together.
The current main-harness listing specifies Honda 32100-323-040 for the 1972–73 CB500K. Verify that reference and the installed connector arrangement. The similarly named 1971 harness has a different listing and should not be chosen by model name alone.
Compare it when the wiring section being replaced matches that separate sub-harness, rather than the main loom. Its listing names the 1972 CB500K1. Check connectors, terminal ends, colours and routing, particularly if the bike has mixed-year electrical parts.
The regular charging unit includes stock-type plugs, but may require custom mounting. Its body measures 68 x 94 x 26 mm, with 80 mm hole spacing. Compare the available mounting area as well as the existing connector arrangement.
